The following dataset shows 4 tables with the occurrence of CUPs and PPCPs in the different environmental matrices. For both shallow lakes, Al-Asfar and Al-Hubail, the sites 3, 4 and 5 were located in the shallow lake, while site 1 was located in irrigation channels, which provide wastewater (from farms, factories and/or domestic sewage) to each lake. Site 2 was located between the end of the irrigation channels and the mouth of each lake. Detailed information of each sampling site is provided in the related article [1]. Table 1 shows the occurrence of CUPS and PPCPs in water samples, while tables 2, 3 and 4 show the occurrence in sediments, soil and plants (wild flora Phragmites australis) respectively. In order to make the table easier to understand the data has been filtered, eliminating in each table, those compounds that were not detected in the sampling sites. A detailed list of the analyzed compounds is provided in the related article [1]. Furthermore, the CUPs acetochlor, acrinathrin, alachlor, atrazine, atrazine-deethyl, atrazine-deisopropyl, azinphos-ethyl, azinphos-methyl, buprofezin, carbofuran, chlotianidin, coumaphos, diclofenthion, dimethoate, diuron, 2,4-dimethylaniline (DMA), 2,4-dimethylphenylformamide (DMF), 2,4-dimethylphenyl-N′-methylformamidine (DMPF), ethion, etofenprox, fenthion, fenthion sulfoxide, fipronil, flumethrin, hexythiazox, malathion, methiocarb, metolachlor, molinate, omethoate, parathion-ethyl, parathion-methyl, propanil, propazine, pyriproxyphen, simazine, spinosyn A, spinosyn C, spinosyn D, terbumeton, terbumeton-deethyl, terbutryn and tolclophos-methyl and the PPCPs allopurinol, amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, furosemide, indomethacin, norfloxacin and thiamphenicol were not detected in the samples. In addition, the tables also show the total accumulated contamination for each contaminant and matrix, which provides and insight of the overall presence (and use) of each compound in the area., The data set presents the occurrence of 59 currently used pesticides (CUPs) and 33 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), from wetland areas, in Saudi Arabia, impacted by wastewater discharge. Wetlands are valuable ecosystems, but are very fragile and easily affected by anthropogenic pressure [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. The occurrence of organic contaminants provides understanding about their fate and possible risk for humans and environment. Up to our knowledge, this is the first report on the occurrence of the mentioned organic pollutants in shallow lakes in Saudi Arabia, and the first time these compounds are analyzed in wild flora. Samples of water, sediment, soil and plants were extracted via ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) and solid phase extraction (SPE). The compounds determination was performed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).

Laser-induced Breakdown Spectrocopy (LIBS) analyses of glass without grisaille (body surface) and the grisaille itself were performed using laser excitation at 266 nm (Nd:YAG laser, 6 ns pulses, 10 Hz repetition rate; Quantel Brilliant) and a 0.30 m spectrograph with a 1200 grooves/mm grating (TMc300 Bentham) coupled to an intensified charged coupled detector (ICCD, 2151 Andor Technologies). The fluence was of 6.6 J cm− 2. LIBS spectra were recorded with a gate delay and width of 100 ns and 3 μs, respectively. For the Laser-induced Fluorescence (LIF) analyses, the same equipment described above was used. However, time gate was operated with a zero-time delay, the grating was 300 lines/mm and the number of accumulations of 25. The fluence was 6 × 10− 3 J cm− 2. A home-made nonlinear optical microscope (NLOM) was used for Multi-Photon Excitation Fluorescence (MPEF) measurements of grisaille thickness with a mode-locked Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser. The laser emits at 800 nm, with an average power of 680 mW, delivering 70 fs pulses at a repetition rate of 80 MHz and a laser power of 6–9 mW. The laser beam was modulated using a chopper at a frequency of 130 Hz and conducted to the sample through the aperture of a microscope objective lens (M Plan Apo HL 50X, Mitutoyo, NA 0.42). The focal plane of the laser was selected with motorized translation XYZ stages (Standa 8MVT100-25-1 for XY and Standa 8MTF for Z). In-depth cross section imaging of carbon coated glasses decorated with grisaille paint was carried out by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) with a Hitachi S-4800 cold cathode equipment, working with acceleration voltage of 15 kV. An Oxford X-Max of 20 mm2 system coupled to the electron microscope with resolution of 125 eV (Mg Kα) was used for Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) microanalyses. More details of the experimental conditions are available in their respective data folder. Data life: 2021- (unlimited validity). This dataset is subject to a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) License., This is the experimental dataset used in the paper Talanta, 230: 122314 (2021) (http://hdl.handle.net/10261/244443) in which the thickness and composition of grisaille paints in four Spanish historical stained glasses, named Balmaseda (A; 19th century), Girona (B; 18th century), Leon (C; 13th century) and Goyeneche (D; early 20th century) after their place of origin, have been determined. The samples are glass fragments without value for their replacement available from previous conservation works made by some of the authors. This data set includes the results of the chemical and physical characterization of grisaille with a set of optical and spectroscopic techniques, including non-invasive techniques such as the emerging Nonlinear Optical Microscopy (NLOM) in the modality of Multi-Photon Excitation Fluorescence (MPEF). This allows determining the thicknesses values of the historical grisaille paint layers on the basis of their intrinsic fluorescence without photochemical and physical damage. The results obtained (FWHM values of depth scan after refractive index correction) show significant consistency and agreement with those obtained from traditional Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) in which mean thickness varies between 26-78 µm. Scanning Electron Microscope coupled with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (FESEM-EDS) and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrosocopy (LIBS) show the elemental composition of both the body glass and the grisaille paint in the 4 samples according to the respective emission lines of the main and minor components. And finally, Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) provides complementary information (fluorescence species)., We acknowledge financial support from the Spanish State Research Agency (AEI) through projects PID2019-104124RB-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and PID2019-104220RB-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033; from the Community of Madrid through project TOP Heritage-CM (S2018/NMT-4372); from European Union’s Horizon 2020 through IPERION HS (Integrated Platform for the European Research Infrastructure ON Heritage Science, GA 871034) project and CSIC through M.O.’s contract., dc.description.tableofcontentsLIBS folder: LIBS_readme; LIBS_A-glass; LIBS_A-grisaille; LIBS_B-glass; LIBS_ B-grisaille; LIBS_C-glass; LIBS_C-grisaille; LIBS_D-glass; LIBS_D_grisailleLIF folder: LIF_readme; LIF_A-glass; LIF_A-grisaille; LIF_B-glass; LIF_B-grisaille; LIF_C-glass; LIF_C-grisaille; LIF_D-glass; LIF_D-grisailleNLOM folder: NLOM_readme; NLOM_A-grisaille_l; NLOM_A-grisaille_h; NLOM_B-grisaille_l; NLOM_B-grisaille_h; NLOM_C-grisaille_l; NLOM_C-grisaille_h; NLOM_D-grisaille_l; NLOM_D-grisaille_hFESEM-EDS folder: FESEM-EDS_readme; EDS_A-grisaille; EDS_B-grisaille; EDS_C-grisaille; EDS_D-grisaille; FESEM_A-grisaille; FESEM_B-grisaille; FESEM_C-grisaille; FESEM_D-grisaillePHOTOS folder: Photos_redame; A-glass_grisaille; B-glass_grisaille; C-glass_grisaille; D-glass_grisaille O, Peer reviewed

[EN] This Collection of Botanical Iconography of the 18th century is the most relevant of the Flora of Colombia, and one of the best in the world, both from a scientific and artistic point of view. These are the original drawings made by the artists of the Expedition of the Royal Botanic Expedition of the New Kingdom of Granada, under the direction of José Celestino Mutis. During thirty years, the expeditionaries collected specimens in the territories of Colombia and Ecuador, which were illustrated by the artists. As a result this collection has reached our days, and has been admired by scientists like Carlos Linnaeus and Alexander von Humboldt. Since 2002, it has been recognized by the UNESCO as Memory of the World Register for Latin America and the Caribbean (MOWLAC).The data set includes information belonging to 5,796 records from a total of 7,167, including the scientific name, as well as subsequent identifications and revisions made by the specialists of the "Flora of the New Kingdom of Granada". This work is divided in various volumes in publishing process since 1952 thanks to an agreement between the Spanish and Colombian governments., [ES] Esta colección de iconografía botánica del siglo XVIII es la más relevante para la flora de Colombia, pero también una de las mejores del mundo, tanto desde el punto de vista científico como artístico.

The marine Biological Reference Collections (CBR) are located at the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM-CSIC) in Barcelona, Spain. The CBR are a Unit of Service where around 15000 referenced species are preserved, catalogued and maintained for their study. The most represented marine groups at the CBR are fish, crustaceans, molluscs and echinoderms, but also other groups are present. The studies based on the CBR specimens are focused on biodiversity, biogeography, taxonomy (type species), invasive and alien species, and genetic analysis. Several PhD theses have also been carried out in collaboration with the CBR.The CBR are a reference point for the marine biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea, but in their facilities the CBR also hold specimens from all the oceans (Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Antarctic and Arctic). The Collections are constantly receiving new specimens and updating. The main sources of specimens are oceanographic surveys and different kind of sampling programs carried out by the research projects run by the ICM-CSIC. However, the CBR have also received (in the past and currently) different collections donated by naturalists, researchers, other institutions, and particulars. The CBR were created in 1981, in the earlier history of the ICM-CSIC, by Jaume Rucabado, Domingo Lloris and Concepción Allué. The Collections were later recognized and catalogued by the Spanish Ministry of Culture in 1990. In the last decade, the CBR initiated a new stage where the information was digitized and the physical preservation of specimens updated to the new rules (such as change from formaldehyde to ethanol). The CBR are now part of GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility), thus making public and available all data collections and their metadata. We have also incorporated the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to monitor and study the geographical distribution of our specimens and moreover, the CBR started to act as repository of DNA voucher collections for genetic analyses.As a unit of service of the ICM-CSIC we think that education and outreach of marine science is of crucial importance for the society and for that reason the CBR take active part in several outreach activities with schools, universities and general public. For more information or details you can visit our webpage (http://cbr.icm.csic.es/en/node) and send us an e-mail (cbr@icm.csic.es). We will be happy to help you., Peer reviewed
